Lancers Win Series After Tenth-Inning Walk-Off
3/14/2026 5:35:00 PM | Softball
RIVERSIDE --- The finale of California Baptist's three-game series with the North Dakota State Bison extended into extra innings for the second day in a row. In the rubber game of this three-game set, CBU walked off NDSU once again, this time in the tenth frame, to win the series and the game, 2-1.
Â
Head coach Brandon Telesco and his squad are now 22-10 with Saturday's victory. The Lancers remain unbeaten in extra innings, sitting 3-0 when games stretch beyond the seventh.
Â
Miranda De Nava earned her seventh win of the season, doing so in a complete game in which she logged all 10 innings in the circle. De Nava allowed one run across seven hits with one walk and six punchouts. She threw 125 pitches.
Â
CBU started the scoring in the bottom of the second when Malachy Russell-Millen hit a towering home run over the left field fence, giving the Lancers a 1-0 lead. Russell-Millen has four home runs on the season, a career-high.
Â
Â
NDSU leveled the score in the fourth when a fielder's choice plated the tying run.
Â
Five innings with nothing but zeroes followed on the scoreboard, as the game extended deep into extra innings. Nine innings were needed on Friday to decide a winner in game one of the series. This time around, a tenth frame would be needed to capture a winner.
Â
That winning play came on an NDSU error, allowing Savannah Gatewood to score the walk-off run.
Â
Â
CBU racked up 11 hits in the win. Berkleigh Tuck was an on-base machine, finishing the day 4-for-4. Ashlee Annett went 2-for-5.
Â
Saturday was the final non-conference game before the start of the WAC season. The Lancers will open their first conference series next weekend when they travel to Cedar City to play Southern Utah.
Â
The Lancers will return to John C. Funk Stadium on Tuesday, March 24, when UC Santa Barbaa comes to town. CBU will then host Utah Valley for the first home W
